And Joe Fresh has a promo code for you. I love this. So all you have to do is use the code libymethod25 when you check out online at joefresh.com or through the Joe Fresh app, right?
Starting point is 00:01:44 Amazing. Here we go. Welcome to day one of our winter weight loss program. Okay. First things first, how do you find this live each day? So Monday through Friday, 9am, I'm going to go live. This is where we're going to talk more in depth about the program and process. The lives absolutely not mandatory. You do not need to watch hours and hours or listen to hours and hours of me talk in order to know what you need to do. The program is so easy to follow with all the information, especially that we posted today.
Starting point is 00:02:18 It is so easy to follow. All you need to do is review the weekly guidelines. So we are starting with the prep week guidelines today. That's what you need to do this week. And then next week we'll roll out new guidelines for week one and you wanna find the food plan. That's it. Now with the food plan, we've done a general overview.
Starting point is 00:02:40 The food plan is what to eat and when, and then we've broken it down into individual meals and snacks. So there's a lot of information that we're going to be posting, but all you really need to do is read over the guidelines each week and make sure you understand what you need to do with the food plan. That is it. Of course, you can always reach out in our Facebook support group and ask our team as many questions as you need. There is no limit on the number of questions that you can ask each day.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Or you can also open up our Living Method app and use the super cool AI feature. But how to find the lives each day? Back to that. Okay. So the quickest way to find the live airing live in the group is to go to the photo or media section in your Facebook app or if you're on your computer and you'll find it airing live. If you're using our app, it will also link you directly into the Facebook support page as well. So welcome everybody. Welcome to all of our new members who are joining with us today and welcome to all of our
Starting point is 00:03:48 Returning members now one of the questions we get asked a lot is why are people returning? Well people will do as many rounds of the program as they need until they reach their goal So it's no different than any other diet that you've done You start it you keep following it until you reach your goals with the the Living Method, we've broken it down into 91-day digestible chunks of time. 12 weeks, or really 13 weeks when you include prep week, is more than enough time to make change. But some people have more weight to lose than others, and for some people, it might be easier than others because of what's happening in life. Life has a way of smacking us in
Starting point is 00:04:25 the face. So sometimes we can't show up as consistently or diligently as we like, but it's definitely worth still showing up for. So you may only need to do one program. So it is my goal to teach you everything that I've learned about weight loss in the last 30 something years of my life. And it's a lot. It's all the information. I need to do everything that you need to know in order to lose your weight. And, and, but there are some people who are going to need more than the 91 days. And what I love because I worked in, I worked in gyms for years since I was like 14 years old. And, you know, I also worked in sales and high pressure sales. And some of you just don't need to sign up for a whole year in
Starting point is 00:05:07 Or to lose your weight. So this way you can tailor it to your individual needs So that's why people keep coming back when you are done losing weight through our weight loss program We also do have a whole maintenance program So before I get into answering your questions today, I want to talk about three reasons Why the Libby method is different than any other diet. You're going to want to hear them because we want this truly to be the last diet that you ever, ever do. So we don't do counting, we don't do weighing, and we don't do measuring. You don't need math to lose weight and math isn't going to help you maintain and sustain your weight afterwards. What we're going to do is teach you how to be in tune to your body's needs. We have a whole process for that.
Starting point is 00:05:44 What we're going to do is teach you how to be in tune to your body's needs. We have a whole process for that. So stick with us. That's part we're starting with that basic food plan and then what you eat and when is going to change and evolve week to weeks. We're going to make changes to what you eat and when and we're also going to approach weight loss from a variety of different angles. We're really going to get into it. Weight loss is so much more than what you eat and when it's working through your issues and associations. Let me say that again issues and associations tied into and around food and your relationship with food, how you utilize food to cope, how you were raised with food. It's about working through habits.
Starting point is 00:06:18 So old habits that no longer serve you and creating new habits that do. It's about working through your beliefs, beliefs that you can do this, beliefs that you are worthy of this. And for some, it's also about working through past traumas. So we're going to be talking about so much more than weight loss. Now, you know, for everyone who will struggle on their weight loss journey because all your thoughts and feels that you'll have for the next 91 days are all valid and can also give you great insight into the things that you need to do and work through.
Starting point is 00:06:48 There are people who find this program so easy peasy. All they do is just follow those guidelines each week, make the changes that they need to make. And that's it. That's it. So whether you find the process easy peasy or you struggle more than others, we are going to be here for you. I'm also going to be joined by my amazing team of guest experts who are going to get into the conversations with us. It's not just me. I am a weight loss expert. I've helped hundreds of thousands of people lose weight
Starting point is 00:07:17 successfully. I've spent my entire life pretty much helping people lose weight. I've learned a lot. I don't pretend to know it all. And I have this amazing team of some of the top experts in their fields who are going to help you navigate this journey. We have psychologists who are going to join us, learning strategists, doctors, natural paths. We're going to have some pretty amazing conversations that are going to help you along the way. You're going to have access to these guest experts in a way like you can't even imagine the way they share their expertise and knowledge with us.
Starting point is 00:07:53 So there's no counting, weighing and measuring with the Libby Method. Number two, it's a guided program. And this is what I mean by it should be very simple and easy to follow because we tell you everything that you need to do, everything that you need to do. Now there can be a bit of a learning curve, but we're going to tell you day by day, week by week what you need to do. So you're not just haphazardly, chaotically counting, weighing, measuring, just trying to figure it all out on your own.
Starting point is 00:08:18 We'll tell you exactly what you need to do. And the third and biggest reason why the Libby Method is different than any other diet, we don't want you to keep coming back. we don't want you to keep coming back. We don't want you to keep coming back. Come back as often as you need, for as long as you need. We love having you here. We want you to actually lose your weight. We want to be done, you to be done with your weight loss journey.
Starting point is 00:08:38 We want you to lose your weight in a way that leaves you healthier, more in tune to your body's needs, and in a way that you're gonna be able to easily maintain and sustain. So that is our mission. That is our mission. No counting or weighing, but on the app, there's a spot to add your weight, check-in,
Starting point is 00:08:55 is that optional. So if you are using our Living Method app, and if you're not, I highly suggest you do, it's really easy to use. It's also super cool. In the app, it will actually guide you through the program and process, meaning the changes that we're going to be making each week. There's also a recipe guide in there, an exercise guide in there. All the information is stored in there along with our cool Libby AI feature where you can ask questions and get a
Starting point is 00:09:20 response literally within seconds. You can track your weight. You can track your food. Now we don't count, weigh and measure, but what you do is click off the components that you are at to add to your meals. So for example, lunch today, you can click off that you had vegetables, proteins, leafy greens, healthy fats,
Starting point is 00:09:41 and any added extra heavier carbohydrates. So it's all about making sure you are putting together your meals and snacks with the components that you need. Obviously there are days that you are going to feel like you are rocking it and you are doing all the things and other days that you feel like you're just scrambling to try to keep it together. All the days count. All the days count. All the days count. It's not about perfect. It's all about progress over perfection around
Starting point is 00:10:11 here. You can also track your fluids, your mood, your movement. You can also set intentions and end of day reflection. So what you track really is up to you. Now let's talk about tracking your weight. We have some posts that we're gonna be posting in the next couple of days, talking about using the scale as a tool. I completely understand that some of you may have an aversion to using the scale. So here's what I have to say.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Do not use it at all. There's other ways to measure that things are working for you. In fact, the scale is not a measure of success. It's just a tool that we use in conjunction with the choices that you're making and how you are feeling. I'm a big fan of using this scale to really help you understand what's happening. What's happening when the scale is up, what's happening when the scale is down, what's happening. What's happening when the scale is up, what's happening when the scale is down, what's happening when you're plateauing and what you can do about it. But I also understand you may be nervous about using this scale. So if you don't want to get on the scale the next couple
Starting point is 00:11:13 days, don't get on the scale. But please read over the rhyme and the reason and I'll talk more about it personally as to why I suggest using this scale. Here's what you absolutely do not want to do. as to why I suggest using the scale. Here's what you absolutely do not want to do. You do not want to weigh yourself once a week. So either use it every day to collect your data on what's happening and how your body's responding, or do not use it at all. The worst thing you can do is use it once a week,
Starting point is 00:11:38 because you could be crushing your week, your weight could be dropping, and let's say you weigh yourself every Friday, but you go out for dinner on a Thursday night you make great choices but the foods a little salty. Maybe you had a busy day you didn't get all your water in that day, maybe you did a workout the day before and your muscles are sore so you get on that scale Friday and your weight is actually up when in reality your weight is down. So we're gonna talk more about the scale and how to actually use it as a tool.
Starting point is 00:12:06 But that's what I would suggest. If you're apprehensive about getting on a scale, don't worry about it. You'll hear from a lot of our returning members that will talk about how they love getting on the scale because it gives them great insight into where their body's at and what they can do to get and keep that scale moving. Now, with that said, we are all about helping you lose as much weight as possible As quickly as possible, but we are not a quick fix program We're all about helping you lose your weight in a healthy way physically for your body
Starting point is 00:12:35 Mentally for your mind and in a way you can sustain and maintain Every body is different, but if you are human and have a body, the program is going to work for you. We're going to teach you how to make it individual to your needs. I see some of your questions. Some of you are talking about how you have some health issues. You have diabetes, thyroid issues, some PCOS. Regardless of what your health issues are, the program will work for you because it's all about losing weight in a healthy way. But we do have some more posts that are going to talk more about that. What else? What else? What else? What else? What else? Again, if you're just joining me now, this is the live.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Hello. Hi. Welcome. So every day I go live Monday through Friday at 9 a.m. This week as well, I'm going to be going live at 7 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. If you can't join us live, we always repost the lives and we store them in the guide so you can watch them later. You can also download and listen to them by way of our Livy Method podcast. So if you search that out on all podcast platforms, you can check that out. I do also have to say as well that this is the lives of the one place where our team doesn't come in and answer questions.
Starting point is 00:13:49 So if I don't personally get to your question or you feel like it wasn't answered in the conversation, just copy and paste it and pin it to the questions post or the check-in video that you'll find at the top of the page. It can also be found in the featured section. So there's some, find that featured section. There's some key videos there for you.
Starting point is 00:14:08 So just pop it on that post and the team will answer it there. If you're new to the program, you may be like, holy shit, there's a lot of people in here. There's a lot going on. We got you. It is not just me. We have a massive team of people behind the scenes who are so excited to help you on your journey. You will not get lost in the mix, but you
Starting point is 00:14:32 will want to make sure if you're asking questions in the Facebook support group that you set your notifications so that when the team answers, you will see the response. Usually it takes anywhere from a few minutes to upwards of an hour, usually, usually no longer to get your questions asked and answered. And there's also no limits. Hi, Maureen first timer. Hello, welcome. There is no limit on the number of questions that you can ask. There is also no such thing as a silly question. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please just freely ask your question. I want you to understand that we take this space very seriously. This is a very safe space
Starting point is 00:15:10 for you to share and ask as many questions as you need without judgment. We don't assume to know what you know, what you're dealing with, where you've been, where you come from. We are just very happy to help. If you ask a question, try to give as much detail as possible. If you're not happy with our response, ask a follow-up question. We don't know anything about you sometimes. It's not that we don't want to give you the information. We're just trying to guess kind of what you need. There's no such thing as a question asked too many times. So it is not your job to read all of the questions asked every day to find your answer.
Starting point is 00:15:46 It is your job to prioritize yourself and just straight up ask the questions that you need without worrying how many times that question has been asked. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Just worry about you. Ask your question. That is it. Simple as that.
Starting point is 00:16:02 So here's what I suggest. Every day, check into the Facebook support group means open up your Facebook app and pop into the Facebook support group or open up your living method app watch the check-in video and Then review the day's posts and then let us know if you have any questions and that's it You will notice a lot of the information is supplemental So again, the the living method should be really easy to follow. This week you want to review the prop week guidelines and then you want to find the food plan and review the food plan overview. And then if you want you can go into all the different individual meals and snacks. It talks more about that. So you'll notice that we also have a program guide. So I'm just
Starting point is 00:16:41 going to adjust my camera. I don't know what's happening here. It's just kind of all over the place and slipping around. There we go. Yeah. There we go. I want to stop right here and take a minute to hear from our new sponsor. It's a good one and they are offering a promo code. So you're going to want to listen up. It's Joe Fresh, known for great value. So you know you are getting quality for the price point. You know that we love that around here, as well as stylish everyday essentials. They want you to know that they have a new active wear collection that offers three new support levels. So their everyday line is light support, buttery soft pieces, perfect for low key activities. Their balance line is their medium support, perfect for things like yoga or studio classes
Starting point is 00:17:24 that are made with soft fabric that's made to move as you move. And then their momentum line, you know what, come on, this name is amazing. This is their medium to high support level for more intense workouts, the fabric that helps you power through every rep. However you choose to move, Joe Fresh has you covered. And here is the promo code. It is LivyMethod25. Just use the code when you check out online
Starting point is 00:17:50 at joefresh.com or through the Joe Fresh app. So you notice we also have this program guide. So this is a written version of all the information, the same information that's posted in the Facebook support group, same information that's also found in your app as well. This is just a written version for anyone who likes to highlight make notes if you just learn better that way. This is available on Amazon near
Starting point is 00:18:12 you so you can pick that up. This is also our winter program journal. So we have a new journal for every program it guides you through the program very similar to the app. But if you'd like to put pen to paper, you can make notes or you can just use your own journal. But what I want to show you is all the information in the book, because that's a lot of information. Okay, so first of all, and this is you can tell I've used it, I have coffee stains in my book. If I go to the back of the book, this part of the back of the book, this is recipes and the science behind the living method. So there's a lot of science behind the living method.
Starting point is 00:18:47 We're gonna get into that as we get going. But this is really all the information that we're gonna talk about over the next 91 days. Again, it's a lot of supplemental information. There's a post here talking about the scale, for example, it's broken down into weeks. There's weight loss in your menstrual cycle. So some of you that will be relevant for some of you will that will not be relevant. But what is relevant to everybody is the weekly guidelines.
Starting point is 00:19:15 So we are starting with the prep week guidelines this week and everybody starts on day one. Everyone starts on day one. Now, if you are new to the program, we understand that you might just be getting the information today. So how can you follow if you just finding out what you need to do? You should be able to see the progression of the week, right? Especially if you're tracking along in your app, maybe you don't start perfectly the first day, that's okay. It's really about being here at the end of the program.
Starting point is 00:19:41 You know, just pulling together all the things that you need to do. So some people again might, might hit the ground running totally okay to take a more easy, intuitive approach. So we start with a prep week guidelines this week, which is really just understanding the food plan and wrapping your head around that and grabbing everything that you need and starting to follow that consistently. And then next week, we'll have week one guidelines, week two guidelines, week three and whatnot, where each week we are making slight changes to the food plan itself.
Starting point is 00:20:07 So the more consistent you can be about it, the better. And each week sort of has a different focus and a tweak. So all you need out of this book is really the guidelines each week. And then you're going to want to find the food plan information because that the basic food plan is the foundation of the program. Although we make changes to it, you want to start being as consistent as possible with it. We just know when we've learned that people have a lot of questions, people have a lot
Starting point is 00:20:34 of questions. So we try to answer as many questions as you possibly have before you have to ask them. I am back on the wagon failed last session and wait is up up up. So happy to be with all you lovelies. Hi Lisa, welcome back. So listen, you know, we what we found around here is that weight loss is a very individual and profound journey. If you are new here, one of the things I would suggest is really listening to some of our returning members. They're so amazing with their shares. You will learn a lot about weight loss in general, not the particulars of the program.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Obviously, that's all found in the book and the app and the Facebook support group and all the information. But what you are going to get out of our incredible community honestly is truly priceless. A lot of them will share where they're at, what they've been through, what really worked for them, ways that they struggled and whatnot. You'll find a lot of valuable insight on that.
Starting point is 00:21:32 And what we've learned is that you may have signed up for this program and you may be so excited about it, but maybe life smacks you in the face one way or another. And it's not that easy for you to do the things that you need to do. It is still worth trying to do the things. You may crush this program. You may drop 30, 60 pounds, crush the program, and then sign up for our next program. And then that's when life smacks you in the face.
Starting point is 00:21:57 You may find that although you are so excited to sign up for the program, you realize this program is different and you have to start digging deep. And you may have some issues that you're dealing with that you might not want to deal with and it might take you a while to work through some of those. We are going to be here with you every step of the way so you have all the support that you need to work through all the things that you need to work through. So
Starting point is 00:22:20 here's what I suggest. I don't know what's going on with my camera so just ignore it. Here's what I suggest. There are a couple things that you can do to really set yourself up for success. And I'm not talking meal prep today. It's not meal prep. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about taking a minute today, some time this week, and think about your history with your weight? When did your weight journey start? When did you notice you had a weight issue? What are some of the things that you've done? What are times in your life where you struggled? Really try to get an understanding of
Starting point is 00:22:55 where you've been, when it started, where you've been, what you've been through to understand where you are at today and what you need. And whether you're a first time member or you're a returning member, right? Reflect on your past programs with us. What do you need right here right now today? And so you want to focus on that. Take some time. Take some time. Maybe write it down. Journal. Also ask yourself how you feeling about this process. We're gonna talk a lot about motivation. So your motivation is what got you
Starting point is 00:23:25 to sign up. You were motivated to sign up. You are not going to be guaranteed motivated to do the things that you're going to need to do every day. We're going to try to keep you as motivated as possible. We're going to highlight some of our incredible members. We're going to share real stories. I'm going to try to motivate you the best I possibly can each and every day, but your motivation is not what's going to get you through this program. Consistency, routine, understanding what you need. That's going to ensure you are a success story at the end. Love being motivated, but motivation isn't it.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Motivation is why you signed up for the program. But what I do find can be a great motivator is your why. Why are you here trying to lose weight with us today? And maybe it's because you your son or daughter is getting married and you want to feel fantastic and look and feel your best. Okay, great. But make it tangible, right? Envision yourself on that wedding day, the outfit that you're wearing,
Starting point is 00:24:30 how you're feeling, how you feel when you got up that day, how you feel the next day. You want to make it real. You want to make it tangible. Maybe it's to just be healthier, right? What does healthier mean? Does it wake up in the morning and be full of energy and not feel like drinking wine at 9 a.m., not needing a coffee maybe to get through your day? You know, maybe go into your closet,
Starting point is 00:24:53 putting your clothes on and everything fits. You feel great. You know, maybe you're going on vacation, you want to wear that bikini, right? I love this one. So visualize yourself wearing the bikini. What's it going to feel like? Right, maybe you don't have the perfect body, but you feel fantastic in your bikini. You're wearing that bikini. You're walking along the beach.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Maybe you're jogging on the beach in your bikini, stopping, grabbing a taco, washing down with a beer, not thinking anything about it, just enjoying your life. I saw someone's comment there, why is they want to lose weight in the right way? So what is the right way? Right? So what is that for you? Is that not stressing and obsessing about everything you put in your mouth, constantly stressing and obsessing about your next meal, starving yourself, depriving yourself, punishing yourself for enjoying a nice meal? What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:25:45 Does that mean losing weight in a way where you don't gain it back plus more every single time? Right? What does that mean? What does that mean? So it's about making it real and making it tangible. So taking some time to reflect on your history with your weight and then taking some time to really understand why you are here. Why you are here. That is going to be your motivator. That is going to be your motivator. All right. What else do we want to talk about?
Starting point is 00:26:12 What else do we want to talk about? Looking forward to the next three months, need a change, just done feeling this way and looking forward to prioritizing me. Yeah, I hear you. What you've done in the past was the past. So listen, one of the things I like to also get off my chest and share with everybody because for, you know, we do have people who some times this is the first diet
Starting point is 00:26:36 they've ever done. Love that. Welcome. We do have some people who just need the Coles Notes, the practical side of the program, read the guidelines, master the food plan, you're good to go. But for other people, it is way more than that because you might have a history of dieting. And if you're one of those people, you sign up for Weight Watchers when you were 12, you can't remember not being on a diet. You've done so many diets, you've lost your weight, you've gained it back, you've lost
Starting point is 00:27:03 your weight and gained it back. You've lost your weight and gained it back Here is what you need to understand without a shadow of a doubt is that you did not fail You did not fail Those diets failed you the diet industry is flawed because of the oversimplication of Calories in versus calories out. We want weight loss is so much more than that. It is so much more than that. Sure, starving, depriving yourself might work when you're 20. And hey, starving, deprive yourself works when you force your body to have no choice but to utilize your stored fat for energy. Your body will burn that. But guess what that does? It simultaneously reinforces the need for that fat in the first place.
Starting point is 00:27:45 So then your body gets used to feeling like it needs to store a certain amount of fat for every time you keep starving and depriving yourself.
